Yemen is mainly mountainous plateau, multi-desert and semi-desert, Hadur Shuaib peak (3760 meters above sea level) is the highest peak in the country.

The western coastal zone is similar to Han Zhi, both hot and humid; the western mountainous area is more suitable for human habitation; and the eastern part belongs to the extremely arid desolate desert zone.

The history of Yemen

Yemen is famous for its frankincense or spice trade

It is the origin of the earliest coffee mocha in the world.

Yemen, which retained its way of life thousands of years ago.

Ethiopia, across the sea from Yemen, also sells coffee through the port of Mocha.

Therefore, Ethiopian sun-treated coffee is often called mocha.

The Yemeni mocha is the ancestor of the world coffee trade.

Thanks to the promotion of delicious coffee to Yemen all over the world

It's called Arabica coffee (Arabia).

Mocha Coffee

The name mocha coffee comes from Mocha in Yemen, and the port can no longer be used.

It has almost been filled with sand, no longer a port, but a sandbar.

As a kind of individual coffee, Yemeni mocha has a unique charm and a long history.

Although Ethiopia was the first country in the world to discover coffee

But the first country in the world to mass-produce coffee as a crop was Yemen.

At the beginning of the 17th century, the first Yemeni coffee was exported to Europe through the ancient port of Mocha.

It amazed Europeans because all exported coffee sacks had to be marked with MOCHA.

To prove that it was transported from the port of Mocha, so the Europeans brought it here.

Delicious coffee is called "mocha coffee"

Matali.

Yemeni coffee grows on steep terrain with little rainfall, poor land and insufficient sunlight, which is unique and difficult for coffee growth conditions.

But gave birth to the Yemeni mocha, which can not be replaced by the coffee world, and the main producing area of coffee is Sanani.

Matari, Ismaili. Matali production area is located in the highlands to the west of the capital, at an altitude of 2000,000m above sea level.

Ancient method of sun treatment

Yemen is a classic of the ancient morning taste of the sun, and it is also the only country in the world that produces full-time coffee.

Europe's fascination with game mocha has not changed since the 17th century. This is related to the dry climate, and coffee is mainly grown in the central highlands.

The average annual rainfall is only 400 Mel 750 mm, much lower than Arabica's best rainfall of 1500 Mel 2000 mm.

Due to the lack of water environment, farmers are still unable to introduce more advanced washing methods, wild flavor is better than Hara coffee, so Yemen has become the choice to experience the taste of the sun.

Mocha beans are smaller, rounder and light green than most coffee beans, which makes mocha beans look more like peas.

The shape of mocha coffee beans is similar to Ethiopia's Harald coffee beans, with small particles and high acidity.

With a strange and indescribable spicy taste. If you taste it carefully, you can tell the taste of chocolate.

So the attempt to add chocolate to coffee is a natural process of development.

Mocha coffee is characterized by its fruity aroma, with obvious wine, spicy and nutty flavors.

Some people say that the Yemeni mocha tastes like blueberries, while others say it is the "wild flavor" peculiar to the Red Sea.

The price of Yemeni coffee in the international market has not been low, mainly because Yemeni coffee is very popular in countries and regions where "Turkish" coffee is popular.

In Saudi Arabia, the Yemeni mocha is so spoiled that people there are willing to pay a high price for low-quality mocha coffee.

This special fondness for mocha keeps the price of mocha coffee high in the world coffee market.
